another profile of hers...may be an older one she states that she is 14 or 15...same date of birth though. She seems to really be concerned with boys and how they view her...my guess would be she had been speaking with a guy online. She just seems easily persuaded by what I read. Also, I noticed a statement that the only time that she was ever really depressed was when a guy upset her.

Clarke, of Orange, was 19 when, on Sept. 13, 2010, she left her Lindsay Drive home and has not been seen since.

“This case is still officially a missing person case,” said Town of Orange Police Department Chief, James L. Fenwick. “We are actively investigating it and are actively pursuing leads.” Fenwick said that this case is the department’s number-one priority and they have an investigator working solely on the case.

Fenwick declined to comment on whether foul play is suspected at this time. However “her lack of contact with family and friends certainly makes this case suspicious.” He said that family members informed police that “good or bad,” Clarke would have informed them of her whereabouts. ::snipping2::

"I keep expecting her to walk in the door," says the 37-year-old town of Orange resident, who has spent the last two years anguished over the disappearance of her teenaged daughter, Samantha Clarke, who was last seen in September 2010.

Meanwhile, Samantha's disappearance has devastated another person's life. 47-year-old Randy Allen Taylor claims police have singled him out as a suspect in Samantha's disappearance, and have harassed him by planting evidence and illegally tracking his whereabouts with GPS technology, even though he's told them he hardly knew her.

"The case needs to be solved," says Taylor, "but the way they're going about it is ridiculous."

Though their stories may differ, the families of the missing bear a similar scar.

“We are in a really small club,” said Gil Harrington, mother of Morgan Harrington, who disappeared in 2009. “Few people go through this.”

Harrington has a tattoo of seven dots on her wrist to symbolize “241.” For the Harringtons, the numbers symbolize, “I love you too much, forever, plus one.” Harrington bid this farewell to her daughter in their last moment together.

At least three other young women have disappeared in the area in the last five years. Nineteen-year-old Samantha Ann Clarke, who vanished after leaving her Orange County town house in September 2010, and 19-year-old DaShad Laquinn Smith, who disappeared in Charlottesville in November 2012, remain missing.

Morgan Harrington, a 20-year-old Virginia Tech student, disappeared from the University of Virginia's John Paul Jones Arena while attending a rock concert in October 2009. Her remains were found three months later in a rural area. No arrests have been made.

Police have said they do not think Graham's disappearance is linked to any of the other missing women.

But Emily Kilroy, a consultant who also helped search Saturday, said the episodes are "starting to feel like a pattern" that's especially unfortunate in a college town with so many young women.

"I can look back over the past 10 years and there were no steps wasted, and there are no regrets,'' she said. "I did all I knew to do and I think that gives me greater peace now." "I've lived every parent's worst nightmare and I'm the parent that nobody wants to be," she said.

Town of Orange Police and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office are planning a “pretty large operation” Sunday to sweep the county in hopes of discovering the whereabouts two missing women, town police Chief James Fenwick said.

The two agencies are still working out the details of the search for Samantha Ann Clarke, of Orange, and Alexis Murphy, of Nelson, he said.

In October, Orange authorities said Nelson County authorities and other specialized search units also would be a part of the search.

“We’re revisiting some previously explored areas,” Fenwick said. “We’ve been working with the Alexis Murphy case from the very beginning, so [we’ll use] information that’s come up in that investigation … to the best of abilities to further our own case.”

Police held a news conference on Sunday morning about missing teens Alexis Murphy and Samantha Clarke.

Chief James Fenwick of the Town of Orange Police Department says police are going to be searching an area that they have searched before. It's an area Randy Taylor would have been familiar with and would have had access to.

"Every lead we pursue in these cases, we're looking at both cases," Fenwick says.

At least 150 people are expected to search for Alexis Murphy and Samantha Clarke.

Investigators said nature worked against them the last time they searched this area. Now they hope to use aircraft similar to what was used in the Hannah Graham search.

The greatest possible outcome for these searches would be to find both missing teens, according to police.

"We're out here beating the bushes, seeing what we can find," says Fenwick.
